If the tool did not run successfully, an error message will appear, indicating the source of
the problem. Note that the tool stops executing at the first error, so if your file contains
multiple errors, they will only be detected one at a time, each time you run the tool If no
message windows appear, the tools have been added successfully.
Viewing the Log File
Each time you run the AddTool, AddImage, or AddDevType utilities, detailed
information about the processing of the selected input file and its success or failure will be
written to the \NetSight Element Manager x.x\Log\PostInst.log file. You can view this log
file via Notepad or any other text-reading application to obtain detailed information about
the processing of your input files. Viewing the log file can help you pin down any errors
that might be preventing your input files from processing completely; it can also provide a
record of the additions you have made to the NetSight Element Manager framework, and
the date and time they were made.
NOTE
Once you have added one or more device types to the NetSight Element Manager
framework, they can only be removed by using the Restore from new function in the Data
File Manager (described in Backing Up Data Files in Chapter 2, Overview of NetSight
Element Manager). This will restore all configurable files to their default values.
